Set between the sweeping expanse of Albert Park Lake and the energy of Melbourne’s CBD, The Queensbury offers a perspective few addresses can claim.

Here, daily life unfolds between parkland, coastline, and city, where morning walks by the Yarra, afternoons in the Botanic Gardens, and evenings in Melbourne’s renowned dining precincts can all be done in the same day.

This is a location that brings together the very best of the world’s number one city, while offering a calm, elevated retreat to come home to.

An iconic location, now your home

The Queensbury’s address sits at the intersection of Melbourne’s most vibrant precincts. From here, residents can move easily between the city centre, the Domain Precinct, Prahran, South Melbourne, and St Kilda. Morning walks around Albert Park Lake, afternoons in the Royal Botanic Gardens, and evenings dining along Fitzroy or Acland Streets all become part of a regular routine rather than a special occasion.

Public transport is equally accessible, with trams nearby and the new Anzac Station within easy reach, making commuting or heading into the CBD seamless.

As Ben Hirsch, principal of the developer Hirsch & Faigen, notes, “The Queensbury’s connection to Albert Park and surrounding neighbourhoods is fundamental to the enviable lifestyle on offer.”

A walkable, cosmopolitan lifestyle

Living at The Queensbury means having Melbourne’s defining experiences close at hand. The arts and sports precincts are nearby, while Albert Park’s famous Formula 1 circuit across the road allows you to enjoy this iconic race from the comfort of your own balcony.

Yet, despite this energy, the development maintains a sense of calm, with its parkside position offering a natural counterpoint to the city’s pace.

It’s a location that suits owner-occupiers and downsizers alike, perfect for those looking to simplify their lifestyle without giving up access to culture, dining, or green space.

Elevated views as your everyday perspective

Rising high above the park, the building has been designed to take full advantage of its surrounds. Many residences are oriented to capture uninterrupted views across Albert Park Lake, the bay, and the Melbourne skyline.

This sense of outlook and openness is central to the living experience, reinforcing a sense of openness that’s not often found so close to the CBD. Water views in general are rare in Melbourne, and yet The Queensbury provides owners with both Albert Park Lake and Bay views.

Your retreat in the city

While the location is defined by access and activity, the experience at home is intentionally more considered. A suite of private, resort-style amenities supports both wellbeing and relaxation, including a gym, yoga studio, sauna, and hot and cold plunge pools, alongside Melbourne’s first pickleball court in an apartment development.

Spaces for entertaining and unwinding are equally well resolved, with a resident lounge and dining area that opens out toward the park, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out.

“The ground level is designed as an open lounge that brings the outdoors in,” says architect David Harrap of FORUM Studio.

“The wellness centre is a sanctuary and spills out towards the garden, creating a sense of calm.”

Light-filled homes with timeless appeal

Inside, residences have been designed with a focus on longevity and liveability. Two distinct colour schemes – Augusta and Ascot – offer refined palettes, from soft neutrals to deeper, nature-inspired tones.

Floor-to-ceiling glazing brings in natural light, while living spaces extend onto private balconies, enhancing the connection to the surrounding landscape. Kitchens are detailed with natural stone benchtops, integrated Miele appliances, and considered joinery, while bathrooms feature stone vanities, porcelain tiling, and bespoke finishes.

Interior designer Danielle Ryder describes the approach as “simple, elegant, timeless – the interiors are defined by the high quality of their materiality and craftsmanship.”

A considered approach to Albert Park-side living

Connected, timeless, and balanced by green space, The Queensbury presents a lifestyle that feels distinctly Melbourne, where energy and calm exist side by side. Now, you can call it home.

Three-bedroom residences are priced from $2.45 million, with two bathrooms and two car parking spaces.
